581 [Song Linger's Personal Conquest of Luzon]

The grape shelf in the backyard of the Wang family almost collapsed because Wang Yuan wanted to send his eldest son to Nanyang.

Song Ling'er wore the armor given by the Emperor of the First Emperor, carried a long knife on his waist and a bow and arrow on his back. He rode a horse into Wang Yuan's study and pointed at her husband: "If you hate me, I will take Ce'er, Che'er, Ming'er back to Guizhou. If you dare to send a support to Ce'er to Nanyang, I will fight you to your death today!"

Wang Yuan couldn't smile bitterly, so he went over to help his wife dismount, and explained with a smile: "Madam, calm down, and listen to your husband's explanation."

Song Ling'er didn't wait for Wang Yuan to approach, and then slashed over: "I'm a little student and I'm afraid I'll be deceived by you, so don't explain it. Just say one thing, and do you want Ce'er to go to Nanyang?"

Wang Yuan narrowly avoided a knife, went around and closed the door, and whispered: "It's not just Ce'er who wants to go out to sea, but our whole family will go out to sea in the future. India, Luzon, Java, Johor, Bharat (Kalimantan), Jinzhou (Sumatra)... all occupied, and the children are kings, and the territory is much larger than that of the Ming Dynasty."

Song Ling'er was slightly angry and said angrily: "It's all places where birds don't poop, who cares?"

Wang Yuan said: "The land there is very fertile except for the hot weather. As long as there are many Han people migrating, what is the difference between it and the Ming Dynasty after its prosperity?"

Song Ling'er was silent, thought for a moment, and asked, "I really want to go out to sea in the future?"

Wang Yuan replied: "I must go out to sea, otherwise the emperor will be uneasy. As for the children, they will go out to sea when they want to go out to sea, and they will stay when they want to stay. As long as I am still alive, no one dares to touch them at all!"

Song Ling'er suddenly smiled and turned over and said, "Don't let Ce'er go, I'll go and conquer that Luzon myself. Anyway, the capital is very boring, so I just hope that there will be a war. It will definitely be interesting to go overseas to fight."

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Ling'er, you don't understand what colonization is. There are indigenous people on Luzon. In the past, we wanted to kill people and rob land, not children playing houses and games. In the future, the more immigrants, the more land they will rob, the more indigenous people will be killed, and the more indigenous people will be captured as slaves. This situation will last at least fifty years. Only when the number of Han people is enough will the suppression of indigenous people be relaxed, and from suppression, killing, and plundering to assimilating indigenous people."

Song Ling'er suddenly realized: "This is a bandit, killing people and setting fires."

Wang Yuan said seriously: "Those who steal the hook will be killed, and those who steal the country will be the princes. Killing families and robbing houses is called bandits, and the next island is the king!"

"Okay, I know, you can't do this if you think of Guizhou?" Song Ling'er said, "Ce'er is young and has no reliable work. I'll help him take the helm for a few years. I'll go back to Beijing after I have enough fun."

Wang Ce was eighteen years old at the end of last year, and his wife Luo was still pregnant.

After the couple said goodbye, Wang Ce followed his mother Song Ling'er to Tianjin. Those who accompanied him were Song Ling'er's dowry guards, or the descendants of those guards.

The maid Ara married a guard named Agui. The couple went out to sea with Song Ling'er and placed the two children in the Wang family to take care of them.

The oldest Achai and Awang, due to their physical disabilities and age, both sent their respective sons to follow. There were five sons of the two of them alone, ranging from sixteen to twenty-five years old. They have been studying and practicing martial arts in the Wang family. They are not only skilled in bows and horses, but also use firearms.

Some of the kings of "Baranga" are called "Harry" (from Sanskrit), and some are called "Sultan" (from the Green Church).

The Luzon State did not occupy the entire Luzon Island, and many places were in the original state. In the southwestern part of Luzon Island, there was also the Feng Jiashilan State, which was founded by the historical pirate Lin Feng.

Song Ling'er, Wang Ce and his son were seasick for about two days and finally got used to sailing on the sea.

They are familiar with various related knowledge along the way, including naval charts, star positions, tides, storms, trade winds, currents, reefs, etc. They will definitely not be able to learn it in a while, and they need to continue to run a boat and gradually master it. As for naval combat technology, it will be more practical.

It was mid-August when I arrived at Shilang Bay, northern Luzon.

The mother and son rested and adapted to the local climate, began to control three thousand musketeers, and appointed the guards they brought as officers. They trained for more than a month.

Finally, in early September, Song Ling'er led 26 armed merchant ships to attack Luzon. She didn't understand the naval battle, so she handed them all over to Baochao Prime Minister, and Song Ling'er was only responsible for landing operations.

The first target of attack was called "Mei'an Port". The number of Han people was more than that of the natives. Some Han people settled here since the Song Dynasty. This port was a must-pass place for Fujian maritime merchants to go to Luzon. More and more Han people formed a port city. Historically, this city was later colonized by Spain and renamed "Weigan City", and the Han people were expelled and persecuted.

"Boom boom boom!"

26 armed merchant ships fired their guns to the sky, and the big word "king" hung on the mast.

The merchants and merchant ships in the port were panicked and thought that pirates came to plunder the port. While quietly preparing weapons to resist, they sent people to negotiate to delay time.

A man came in a small boat and bowed and shouted, "I'm going to Zhangzhou Xu Wei, how can I ask who is here?"

Bao Chaoxiang walked to the bow of the ship: "Do you know Master Wang?"

Xu Wei asked, "Is it Wang Erlang, who is famous all over the world?"

"That's right," said Bao Chaoxiang, "Wife of Wang Ge Lao Lao's wife, Mrs. Song, and son of Wang Ge Lao Lao's son, Xianggong, personally led a fleet to conquer Luzon. Can you help Luzon and resist the heavenly soldiers?"

Xu Wei obviously disbelief: "What a person Wang Ge Lao, how could his wife and children come to Nanyang?"

Bao Chaoxiang smiled and said, "Then have you heard of my Bao Chaoxiang's name?"

Xu Wei was shocked: "It turns out that it was Mr. Bao in front of him, so this matter must be true. Please wait a moment, I will go back now and persuade all merchants to celebrate the city."

This broken place no longer belongs to the land of Luzon at all, and the residents are all indigenous people who are slash-and-burn farming. It is only because it is located in the must-pass place from Fujian to Manila that Chinese maritime merchants set it as a supply point and gradually developed into a trade point. It has become increasingly prosperous for hundreds of years, and the U.S. shore port was also swallowed up when the Luzon Kingdom expanded.

The Luzon State had poor control over this city, mainly relying on Han autonomy. There was a fixed quota for tax collection every year, so if you gave enough money, you would not care about it.
